    When I save a contact name, it doesn't display when I send an email to them. Rather, it just displays their email address as the "Name".


    Other contacts seem to work, but I have one or two that seem to persist in not showing up when I send emails to them.


    But, when I look at my contact list, the real name of the person is displayed - so it is obviously saved, but doesn't display when I send emails. Why?

    And, how do I solve this?

    :)

    Email contacts missing


    1. If you open Mail app and click the + sign for New mail > type first couple of letters of a contact name > will a list of suggested names appear ?

    2. Go to All apps > scroll to P > click People. Is the contact list there ?

  3. While sending mail, does not show my name, instead shows my email address

    I would suggest you to follow the steps to change the Account display in Mail app:

    1. Open Mail app

    2. Select “settings”.

    3. Under settings select “Manage Account”.

    4. Click on the Account name

    5. Change the Account name

    If still not working, try the steps below:

    • In the Mail app, open Settings (the gear icon).
    • Click 'Manage Accounts'
    • Select the account you want to change the outgoing display name for
    • Click 'options for syncing email, contacts, and calendar'
    • in the account sync settings, there should be a 'Your name' text field that is used as the display name for outgoing emails.

    When I save a contact name, it doesn't display when I send an email to them?

    Tailoring Emails Sent to Multiple Contacts


    Hello.

    I want to send emails to multiple contacts, separated by the ; of course, but if an individual replies, that reply would only be seen by me, the original sender.

    You see, I sent an email to multiple contacts and the replies were meant for me only - not for reading by the whole contact list I sent the email to. You follow?

    It is rather redundant to re-type/send individual emails saying the same thing to many contacts to get individual responses.

    Let's say, for example, I sent out a performance questionnaire to many contacts. I want the contacts to reply without the other contacts knowing what their responses are.

    Nothing 'shady' mind you. Just want contacts to freely express their opinions/suggestions/recommendations/help.

    Thanks for your input!
